The Arizona Cardinals are the oldest professional football team in the U.S. that has been continuously run. They started as the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898.
The stadium, located in Glendale, just west of Phoenix, seats 63,400, with 88 luxury suites available. The retractable roof can open in just 12 minutes.
